As bangkokbobby reported earlier today, Ayako Uehara and Mi-Jeong Jeon caught 1st-round leader of the Yokohama Tire PRGR Ladies Cup Yuri Fudoh at -1, on a day when even an eagle couldn't keep the JLPGA's only Billion Yen Woman from ballooning to a 75, as she offset it with back-to-back bogeys to close out her round. The round of the day, though, belonged to former LPGAer Teresa Lu, who fired a 68 that included 6 birdies, an eagle, and 4 bogeys and which improved on her 1st-round score by 9 shots, bringing her within 2 shots of the lead. KLPGA star Bo-Mee Lee birdied 4 holes in a row as she made the turn and parred out over her last 6 holes to stay within 1 of the 3 leaders. With 2-time player of the year Sun-Ju Ahn only 3 off the pace after birdieing 5 of her last 10 holes today, tomorrow's final round should be amazing. If you don't mind a spoiler, it's already tomorrow in Japan!
